Howdy,

At the top of the .tex file put the line

%%!TEX TS-program = xelatex-xdvipdfmx

and TeXShop will use that engine whenever you compile that file. You  
could also use the drop down engine menu on the Source Document  
Window's Toolbar (NOT the Typeset Menu) but that won't ``stick.''

Good Luck,
